to Azerbaijan.

“Yesterday
we visited Baku, and it was not by chance that we decided to pay our first
visit to Azerbaijan. As you know, cooperation between our countries is of not
just bilateral, but also regional significance and has gained strong
international context,” said the prime minister.

However,
according to Gakharia, Georgian-Azerbaijani cooperation has a very important
economic dimension.

“Azerbaijan
and Georgia are strong economic partners, so our cooperation in energy,
transport and other fields is of international importance. In addition, we
discussed such important areas of economic cooperation as trade, transport,
mutual investments, etc.,” said Gakharia.

prime minister said that concrete steps have already been planned, and in
November a meeting of the Commission on Economic Cooperation of the two
countries will be held.

“The
meeting of the Commission on Economic Cooperation between our countries has not
been held for the past 10 years. The first step will be the holding of the
Commission in the second half of November, which should become a fundamental
and effective tool for improving and expanding our economic cooperation,” said
the prime minister.
